smr-nj Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 So… is Alex Jones going to get away with moving millions of dollars to other entities, therein not having to pay the Sandy Hook judgements against him? Fucking monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Damn. A couple weeks ago we could have solved the problem, but now we can't, since it is too soon to politicize it and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish some would just come out and admit that they don't see it as a problem. It would be enraging, but at least it would be more honest than the "thoughts and prayers" and "it's too soon to talk about it" crap.

What they don’t see it as is a problem with guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, the teeth gnashing about nebulous issues like mental health seems to have more to do with running out the clock on the debate than it does about any sort of belief that the status quo is unacceptable. Otherwise, you'd actually see some action on the things identified as problems versus doing the exact opposite (ie. cutting funding for mental health) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 When you go somewhere are you paying attention on where to run in case you hear those pops? I do.

Motor City Sonics Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Guns are part of it, we do nothing. Mental Illness is part of it, we take funds away from it. Corporate Drugs are a problem too. 1991, Wayne LaPierre took over at the NRA, turned it to a marketing org. The same year the major drug companies had a conference on how to mass market psychoactive drugs and that's when ADD and ADHD brought into the mainstream, and the umbrella got big to use these definition as a catch-all to sell drugs.........so we started drugging kids, for being unruly, like, you know, kids. That's when these shootings started happening more often. These drugs affect the liver and that changes the brain chemistry. The Guns and The Drugs are linked here. There's always been bullying, but it didn't result in this. Then the internet comes along and turns these fucking assholes into celebrities.

ben9753 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I have noticed that recently the news sites haven’t been promoting the shooters by their names. A few years ago their names were plastered on every headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how long you've been here, but one of our most active members, Brian Bluhm, was a victim in the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. For a lot of the veterans of this board, this hits hard. The shooter in that case was obsessed with beating Eric & Dylan's number of deaths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I thought of it a couple of times at work because I work at a Jewish University which slightly ups the odds of an anti-semitic attack. However, I realized there is really no way to prepare for that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
